Beefeater Gin Reviews

A great gin for gin and tonics and other drinks, a classic gin that has been around for a very long time. Easy drinking and a pleasant aroma and taste. Not too expensive either and good price for a quality product. Some gin can be too overbearing with unusual aromas and tastes, but this gin in classic and traditional with just the right amount of juniper berries and citrusy flavours. A good one to have on hand.

Beefeater Gin is the one with the London Tower guard on it. Its a delicious, dry, subtle gin for the gin and tonics, gimlets or tom collins. Definitely a staple on your bar cart. Gins have a blend of botanical ingredients to give them their flavours ... usually juniper berries are in there.

According to a tower guard (Beefeater) I once asked, Beefeater was actually a mispronunciation of the French for server - "buffeteur'. Back in the day, these guards were also the food servers of royalty to protect them. The name stuck. Now this might be a funny story to tell the tourists, but either way, we should have shared a gin and laughed about it.
